When will the left-wing media stop putting former President Donald Trump in danger by wrongfully labelling him a fascist threat to democracy?
They want him to get shot at this point.
At a glance:
- The New Yorker casts Donald Trump as a “villain” threatening U.S. democracy in a recent article, comparing him to 20th-century fascists.
- The piece argues that Trump manipulates public sentiment and avoids accountability for violence, referencing the January 6 Capitol riots.
- The article warns of dangerous consequences if Trump wins a second term, including undermining democratic institutions and fostering paramilitary violence.
In a recent article titled “How Alarmed Should We Be If Trump Wins Again?” The New Yorker portrays Donald Trump as a menacing figure who poses an unprecedented threat to American democracy. Written by essayist Adam Gopnik, the piece describes Trump as a “villain” whose return to power would empower violent paramilitary groups and erode democratic institutions.
Gopnik argues that Trump’s political strategy involves turning politics into a “cultural theater” for conservative supporters who feel powerless in the face of liberal cultural dominance. The essay compares Trump to mobster John Gotti, suggesting that Trump evades responsibility by using humor and manipulation, such as his notorious “peacefully and patriotically” line during the January 6 riots.
The article further links “Trumpism” to global right-wing populist movements, particularly highlighting the role of xenophobia and the fear of immigration as key drivers of these movements. According to Gopnik, Trump’s rhetoric taps into this fear, using it to stir emotions and gain support.
The essay warns of the potential consequences of a second Trump term, including pardoning January 6 insurrectionists, aligning the U.S. with dictatorships, and undermining democratic institutions like NATO. Gopnik also raises concerns about Trump’s influence over media organizations, speculating that he could use intimidation tactics to force networks into compliance.
Gopnik concludes by comparing Trump’s motivations to those of fascist leaders, claiming that Trump’s actions are driven by personal vengeance rather than ideology. He describes Trump as a “distinctively vile” figure who poses a grave threat to democracy.
And by the way, there are some left-wingers who think that the New York Times is too fair to Trump. Seriously, look:
